What is a Tithi?

A Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar system. It is based on the angular distance between the Sun and the Moon, which is divided into 30 parts. Each part represents one Tithi.

Tithis are crucial in Hindu astrology and are used to determine auspicious times for various religious activities, ceremonies, and personal events.
